Mobile Number Portability
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) requires that mobile telephone customers can
keep their telephone number–including the prefix–when switching from one
provider of mobile telecommunications services to another. In the absence of MNP,
customers have to give up their number and must adopt a new one when they
switch operators. As a result, customers face switching costs associated with
informing people about changing their number, printing new business cards,
missing valuable calls from people that do not have the new number, etc. Based
on these considerations, many regulatory authorities have imposed mandatory
MNP–or are about to require its introduction–so as to reduce customers'
switching costs, attempting to make mobile telecommunications more competitive.
Number Portability will allow subscribers to change their service provider
while retaining their old mobile number. Portability benefits subscribers and
increases the level of competition between service providers, rewarding service
providers with the best customer service, network coverage, and service
quality.
Number portability is a circuit-switch telecommunications network feature
that enables end users to retain their telephone numbers when changing service
providers, service types, and/or locations. When fully implemented nation wide
by wireline and wireless providers, portability will remove one of the most
significant deterrents to changing service, providing unprecedented convenience
for consumers, and encouraging unrestrained competition in the
telecommunications industry.
